*** Official #25 Baylor vs #3 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

I’m no big basketball expert but I think this BU team is way better than #25 and barely cracking the rankings.
Went down some rabbit holes this morning and found this gem from 40 years ago. So much nostalgia! Barry Stevens final home game. A freshman Jeff Grayer. Jeff hornacek at the other guard spot. The uniforms. The BIG 8. Gary Wade on PA. No 3 point line. And I had no idea they used to play the 1st rounds of conference tourney on home sites.
Ugh, Bill Raftery again...
So if we win the tip and Baylor goes zone, does he still say they come out with a little man to man?

Getting housed by Gonzaga two months ago and then losing to two ranked teams probably set their street cred back.
I'd guess if it's a back and forth game there will be a few 'if this team wants to get to a Final Four they can't be in a tight game with a team that lost to Zaga by 40!' takes.
I like Raftery on the call.
The guy has been around the game a long time and is still relevant. He of course has his quirks but it’s not hacky.
As a player, he scored more points in New Jersey High School than Kyrie Irving. And was retroactively given the honor of Mr. Basketball USA for 1959.
The people before him?
Wilt Chamberlain 1955
Oscar Robinson 1956
Jerry Lucas x 2 1957-1958
I’ll call him Billy Buckets

I like him way more than Dicky V or even Jay Bilis. Raft still analyzes the game with relevancy, where as the other 2 get sidetracked easily with their sticks and entertainment or hop on the soapbox of their preferred topics and forget there is a game being played.
Gilbert has owned Cryer. (Apologies, Cryer plays fot Houston.)
Revision: Gilbert will own Roach.
Their talented freshmen haven't been to Hilton.
Drew uses all his time outs early in both halves.
Cyclones jump on them early and get up double digits, but the Bears hang around until late.
ISU makes fts at the end to keep arms length.
Cyclones 85, Bears 77.

Cryer is on Houston, now, but you’re right, Gilbert owned him last year and he has never been particularly good against ISU.
Crap, that's right! Thanks for the correction. Guess Gilbert (or Lipsey) will have to shut down Roach instead!
